Abstract
We first introduce entropy according to University Physics textbooks, then , briefly discuss it, and then we prove by a general relativistic derivation that the Universe has entropy growth, like a white-hole, that it is R 2 -dependent, and that dark energy, represented by a cosmological “ constant ” , is caused by heat flow, and provides for entropy growth.
